Hi Patrick
She's as sweet as she looks! It seems to show childhood innocence and the effect of her glimmering eye. She looks startled- or maybe in awe of something- amazed! That's a fabulous portrait very subtle lighting & shadows and great colours, the expression and composition, spot on position on the vital portion ensuring that nothing will take the focus away from her lovely face - not even the blurry mangoes. Lovely gorgeous child.
Best regards

Hi Patrick
Exquisite portrait which reminds me of old Dutch paintings because of the low key background and abundance of fruit! The soft diffused light really suits the subject. Spot-on timing and I really like the expression on the girl's face.
Best wishes

Hello Patrick,
I guess the girl had been told that she had to finish the sour soup before she could take a mango. I hope you didn't disturb her dinner too long. As with most photos of children it's a charming picture. She acts totally naturally, just looking a bit surprised at your presence.
Kind regards,
Gert
PS I loved the slightly sour Cambodian soups.

Hello Patrick,
This portrait is superb and has captured a natural moment as she feeds herself the soup. I like the position of her arms and the eye contact that she has with you. Lovely imagery from Cambodia.
Kind Regards, Ann
